Time slipped away unnoticed. At last, Yin Kuang emerged from his deep concentration and let out a long breath.
At that moment, Yin Kuang stood before a thatched cottage. A circle of bamboo fencing enclosed an area of just over a hundred square meters, separating this tiny world from the endless black-and-white world outside. Beneath his feet lay a pebble path. Not far to his left was a small pond, upon which floated green lotus leaves and a pink lotus blossom. To his right was a small vegetable patch planted with bok choy. A parasol tree stood to the left of the cottage, its canopy barely covering one corner of the roof, while a small clump of verdant bamboo stood on the right.
This was the full view of the tiny world Yin Kuang had created over the past few days.
It could be said that this little world was quite simple. Although Yin Kuang had used the Law of Creation to create plants, those plants were merely "things." Without the "Law of Life," they seemed completely lifeless. The layout was also rather crude and stiff. Even so, Yin Kuang was immensely satisfied and felt a great sense of accomplishment—at the very least, when he entered the Chess Realm in the future, he would have a bed beneath him and a roof over his head, wouldn't he? Besides, this was only the beginning. He firmly believed that one day, he would be able to create a true great world!
He clapped his hands as encouragement for himself. Yin Kuang glanced at the clock hanging on the thatched cottage wall. Unfortunately, he had forgotten to add a date when creating it, so he had no idea how many days had passed. He decided to leave the Chess Realm for the time
